Come and meet Sandy Millar, an end-of-life doula to hear how this emerging field of professional practice is supporting people and their whānau in the sacred journey of dying and death.
Sandy will also run a session on how to organise an advance care plan. This document describes what is important to you, as well as the healthcare and treatments you want as you near the end of your life. Unlike a will which becomes active after you die, the ACP identifies your wishes before you die.
Come to either or stay for both sessions which will last approximately an hour each. All are welcome.
This event is part of Dying Matters Week (7-13 September 2026), organised in partnership between Auckland Council Libraries, Honohono Tātou Katoa: Creating Compassionate Communities Trust and Mercy Hospice Te Korowai Atawhai.
